Reply #7: What crap. This has NOTHING to do with the fact that Plame was....

...revealed as a CIA operative, and it hs nothing to do with the fact that her entire global network was also exposed. Revealing the name of an intelligence operative, a field agent, is a violation of Federal law. Period.

All of this other crap about whether or not Plame recommended Wilson to go to Niger to check out the yellowcake story is nothing but a smokescreen. All Plame did was indicate that Wilson used to be stationed in Niger and other countries in that part of the world, and knew the area. She made no recommendation of his services.

The story is false, and has ALWAYS been false, and will continue to be FALSE long after human beings cease to walk on the surface of this planet.

The fact that Susan "Steno Sue" Schmidt was the first to write on this subject should be a direct lead to the ones behind this story. Having Chris Hitchens add to this tempest in a teacup is all the confirmation anyone needs.

I'll take Josh Marshall's word over these two miserable hacks any day of the year.
